In Episode 4, Jeff & Mel dive into the frightening and fascinating world of serial killers, as well as the only-slightly-less-dark world of sleep paralysis.

Note: this episode was recorded a week before Mel Zee lost her partner Richard suddenly to a health condition. This episode is dedicated to his memory.

Jeff & Mel are pathetically obsessed with The Sopranos (and if you haven’t seen it, they'll not only make you wanna watch it, but will also spoil the ending). To soothe yourself, try ASMR, another obsessable subject they think you'll love. 

In episode 2, Jeff & Mel dive into jingles—some they've written, some that drive them insane, and a little about the psychology of jingles! Also, a discussion about eating disorders, diet culture and food obsession. 

In their very first episode, Mel and Jeff explore the dark world of cult leaders, and the even darker world of obsessive dish washing... 

**This episode has some kinks in it since it was the first one! Listen on and hear Obsess Much get better and better!
